Alaska maybe? There's the Bering Strait, lots of AFBs ove the area.

If I'm not mistaken, SkateZilla has a plan to work on the EA-18G(which is even better than the EA-6B), after his A.I F/A-18E.

When it comes to air battles, 4th generation for sure. :)
Mostly during the operation Desert Storm.
About engagement, I'd prefer BVR.
However, 4.5/5th gen fighters are far more interesting IMO.
